Featured Should Calif be split up?

I finally tracked down what the proposed divisons are.

• "Silicon Valley" San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose extending to to Santa Cruz and Monterey counties. (I assume it basically includes San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Sant Cruz, and Monterey Counties.)

• Southern California San Diego and Orange County

• Western California Los Angeles, Santa Monica and Santa Barbara

• Central California The Central Valley - Fresno and the San Joaquin Valley

• North California Marin and Sonoma counties and the greater Sacramento area. (I assume it would also include Napa and Yolo Counties)

• Jefferson The rural counties in far Northern California

Jefferson along with Southern and Central California are likely to be fairly Red. Though, Jefferson would lean Libertarian rather than Conservative.

 

Try the new one. It's got better maps anyway.

 

With my magical mod powers, I edited the new one into my original post. But to make it clear, here you go.
